NodeJS http server response headers are blank when headers are set for a request
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
So I'm sending a request via ajax and I'm setting the headers there and I can log and see that the headers are indeed being set
$.ajax({
headers: {
Authorization: localStorage.getItem('t')
},
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
url: `/updatebackground?b=${bg}`,
success: function(data) {
console.log('yay');
},
complete: function() {
console.log(this.headers)
}
});
But when I try to log the headers in node they come back as blank
http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(res._headers));
});
logs "{}" I'm unsure as to why this happens and any help would be appreciated

On the server, you're trying to access the headers on the response object, not the request object. Since the client set the headers on the request the desired headers would be on the request, or req.
If you change that server-side code to:
http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
console.log(req.headers);
});
You will see the request headers

Apparenly it works with req.headers.authorization Doesn't really make sense as to why it's lowercase but eh whatever. I'll keep this here for anyone else with the same issue.
